Castle Talbot won a similar race dropped in trip here two weeks ago but Knight Of The Air and Hawk Moth weren't far behind and connections of the latter pair will fancy their chances of reversing the form on slightly better terms. Duke Of North is getting little respite from the handicapper but should handle the going and Rhain Ingram will takeoff 7lb again. BLOODSWEATANDTEARS beat Hawk Moth here in September and may have been freshened up by a short break since his latest fourth here in April. He's looking nicely treated at present so is taken to come out on top.
